ATUBGIRL

I’m a day late, but in my defence the reason I didn’t write this yesterday was no I don’t need to explain this to you, shush.

Yesterday was the monthly ATUB meet up, where all those epic people who use Twitter and also happen to live in the glorious city that is Adelaide meet up, drink and talk nonsense. I’ve only ever been to one other meet up, all the way back in October/November, but this was by far more fun and just a little exciting.

The meeting was held at The Highway Hotel where we had multiple tables reserved specially for the event. We rocked out the drinking, drawing on every conceivable surface and remarking on how much of a woman I am for jokingly wearing a skirt. I saw the old faces who I’ve talked to since I don’t know when (although as usual Rubenerd didn’t make an appearance. ONE DAY!), plus a fair few new ones. This is where I segue into a shout out to Brenton, Ash, that FlitterbyG person and that KerryJ person. I also finally met both Cypherage and HugePedlar (The antelope are fat this year) who I have to admit, wasn’t as British as I expected, but was still pretty awesome.

After hours of fun at The Highway and most people had left, the last of us went to the Ed Castle (?) for dinner. It wasn’t as nice a place, but with the meals being just ten dollars I wasn’t really going to complain.  After dinner, we all talked for a little while, before going our separate ways.

Thank you for the fun times guys, it was nice catching up, and meeting the new people. I’m going to try and be more of a regular to these events, and I do promise to be (slightly) less drunk.

Oh god DAMN it.

So I’ve had a sick feeling for a few days, but yesterday it came to a head. I was working on the Baccarat tables, when I had the strong feeling I was going to throw up. Some major dizziness, inability to hear, tingling ears, and collapsing against a wall, and next thing i know I’m in the first aid room getting tested by some Ambulance workers. Shortly after, I went to the hospital and with some more tests and a pseudo interview it was decided I had the flu.
So now, I’m confided to my room for five days during the “contagious period”, meaning I get zero money for the week, and I miss out on things like ATUB, which does nothing but disappoint me.

Being sick is crap.
